Figuring out the best price range for a first-time investor isn't a one-size-fits-all situation. It relies on factors like your investment goals, risk tolerance, and timeframe for Investment. The price range will be dictated by these considerations.

I suggest that you first identify a strategy you're willing to take, choose a market that aligns with it and establish your Core 4, especially if you have plans to invest out of state. The main challenge I've observed is that individuals often lack a clear end goal or strategy or they select a market that doesn't align with it.

Setting a well-defined strategy and ensuring your chosen market complements it can significantly enhance your investment journey. This approach helps in avoiding common pitfalls and ensures a more successful investment experience. Hope this helps!

I'd look at buying a primary residence below your buying power, something in a good area with value add opportunity. Live there for a year or so, purchase another primary and then rent the first property 

@Zeke Nickie Are you looking to be more active or passive when it comes to real estate investing? 

Your price range is always based on your personal financial situation. My advice would be to discuss with your financial advisor. Also don't be discouraged or "bite off more than you can handle". I personally started off investing via auctions ( all cash). At the time i didn't qualify for financing. Those early investments are still to this day some of my personal best! Always remember there are options in the world of Real Estate Investing. 

Best of luck!

To simplify it I'd suggest house hacking in the area you already live in. That will set the price and market already. It's the low hanging fruit of real estate investing but so worth it. I am on my 2nd house hack just north of Boston and it's been a game changer for me. 

Start with opening up an LLC, thats how you can buy if you are not a US citizen. Also, you got to run through your financials and numbers, to see if you actually have the means to invest in the US. Then you need knowledge, networking and a good system which can help you invest remotely for the most part.
